As title says, not 100% sure if I will be doing this yet, but this could be the start of a good thread. Need to have a good look on the net to see how big of job it is 
My idea for this summer is to drop a volvo 480 1.7 turbo engine in the clio.
Not interested in a 172/182 engine conversion N/A.. turbo all the way :rasp:.
Was wondering if any1 on here has dropped a Volvo 1.7 turbo lump in a Clio 2, and how big of job it is IE.. are there any engine mounts, gearbox mounts, and drive shafts that would work so I dont have to have things custom made. And I am assuming that the engine and box will fit in the engine bay nicely as they do in the R5, and clio 1?
Looking at this for the engine, box, ecu etc etc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-480...omobiles_UK&hash=item1c240de3dc#ht_745wt_1270
